They say reading can take you anywhere. I say writing is what does that.

If you think you can write a story, DO NOT start with a RF spinoff. Unless you want to get nuked by downvotes without even reading the story.
How this could be approached differently, without the Rainbow Factory, is something like this. (btw got this from the desciption)

Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash wake up in an abandoned, locked facility. As they try to escape, they soon realize that they're not alone...

It may not be the best story idea ever, but it's better than what you have now. You have the same elements of escape. Add a twist ending, some action, some elements from games like SCP: Containment Breach or Exmortis, and voila, you have a decent horror story

I don't know about everypony else, but I like alternate endings to Rainbow Factory. I'm even writing one myself, though I need help with it. I'm tracking this.Continue, I like this.

Somehow, it does feel sudden. I dont really get how Dash switched from bad to good. Nah, sorry for being unable to describe what the error is, but I dunno. However I really appreciate your rewrite of the ending :)

2241177 I understand what you mean I tried to expand on it a bit more but the main reason was that she went crazy with rage for a while and Scootaloo brought her out of it. I understand that it is, Kinda-sorta, not clear in a way but it is understandable. Thanks for the favorite :twilightsmile:

I'm a big fan of the whole Rainbow Factory story, but I also enjoyed other's interpretations on it.
Yours is a very interesting take on it, :yay: but, so far, one of the best, even though I found a couple grammar errors.

Nicely done, AzureBlaze. You've got some real, raw talent here! :twilightsmile:

Oh my gosh clones this fic has juse got epic can't wait to see more and glad ur back

id hate to be RD when extract her bone marrow for the clones. well thats what they did to fett in star was. or maybe they'll bleed her like they did in Blade. oh so many methods for DNA extraction :trixieshiftleft:

3317476 I actually like these evil messed up ideas. :pinkiecrazy:

Chapter 3 Part 1 is finished. I am just waiting for my proofreader to go over it so that it has the absolute minor amount of grammar issues. I am already starting on part 2 now. I hope you enjoy it. We are on the home stretch. The book is almost finished.

Good but shorter than I expected. Probably because I m used to read fics with longer chapters like a dash of humanity.

3555858 To explain this: "Chapters" and "Parts" are two different things to this story. The parts make up the chapter as a whole so this does mean that they will be shorter. I just put the chapters in parts to build suspense. Of course the first part is longer than the others, but it was simply to "start off" the story (Which was greatly needed, just look back in the comments. It was a very shaky start.). I try to keep to a 1,900 word minimum for each part. This next part coming up (Which I have already written about half of. Patience it is coming.) seems like it will be longer than the previous parts just because it has a lot to be described, that much I will let you know. Anyways, the way I have "distributed" the story actually helps it to gain publicity as well (since every time I update it, it gets sent to the top of the "recently updated" list.). This strategy was and is simply to make the story "survive and thrive" key word being survive. Now if I write a short story (Which I am thinking about doing so.) I would make it a 5,500, or probably way longer, word minimum, with only one part to the story. There is just one problem: What would make one heck of a MLP short story? Hmmmmmm...

5249255 Sorry for how long it took to get back to you. The due date for the final chapter was indeed on new years but by now you may have noticed it hasn't happened yet. In fact it is a month late by now. The answer is I have had life problems like midterms I had to focus on and on top of that I got into trouble so I was in in-school suspension with no internet capabilities which killed all of my time that I had set aside to work on it. Lastly, which is a good thing, the chapter is ending up longer than I had planned out. I am at this time about 3/4 through the final chapter and it is 3,747 words long. I am almost there just hang in there... On another note, the next chapter did come out a little while after CODsoldier123 commented so there is that... which might have been what you were asking about.

Let me get this straight. You're going to ignore 'Pegasus device' totally? Hmm...

6081674 To me personally, I think this is a better sequel than the official sequel. 5754165 Keep up the good work.:twilightsmile:

5754165 You know, have you ever thought about making a sequel? I have an idea for one if you want to know.

7579450 If it's about the NLR I figured there were already so many out there about it that it would just get tossed with the rest but go ahead and PM me the idea and we can talk. I kinda want to talk to you anyways brother.

I was interested in this story after reading the description.
Unfortunately, the fact that there wasn't space between the paragraphs, as well as the big block that was RD explaining what happened to her, pretty much killed said interest before I finished the first chapter.

I wrote this back in the 9th grade and 9th grade Blaze didn't care for proper grammar much...

But wait...? Scarlet Blade and NightWing died in the last chapter? And if I'm understanding this right Azure Blaze told the story as Violet Light and so Azure Blaze died but really it was Azure Blaze swapping roles with Violet Light in his story because that's how he wished it happened and thus he took on Violet's name and it was Violet that actually died and gave his dog tags to Azure? Then that also means Azure was the stupid one that went head first right into a trap and caused Violet to die?

To clarify, it was only implied that the two were killed in the previous chapter when they actually were able to fight their way back out the factory together.
Blaze was the subordinate 'Violet Light' through the entirety of his own story. Due to their bond, Blaze felt guilty of his squad leader and friend's death because of the mistake he had made. Because of this, he took on his squad leader's name because he believes/wishes that it wasn't Violet Light that died, but himself in Violet Light's stead. Only those who knew his real name call him by it which is why the young Prism does not know.

So i was half right; meaning i was right in the role reversal thing and why, but i was wrong in the regard to assume the other 2 died because they actually survived somehow?
